A 50 years old male with no co-morbidities presented to the emergency department with the 2days history of a productive cough and cold without fever. The patient also complained of mild chest pain which increases on deep inspiration associated with fatigue and sweating of 1-day duration. With the diagnosis of atrial flutter, he was admitted in CCU under cardiology where the rhythm changed to atrial fibrillation with the fast ventricular rate. The patient’s rhythm was reverted back to normal sinus rhythm with the Amiodarone infusion.
